A regex exercise from Regexdrill. Solve it with a pattern box with live highlighting in your browser, checked against hidden test strings, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
Replace every run of two or more spaces with a single space.
What this exercise teaches
A space followed by {2,} (or a space and +) with the g flag turns every run into one space.
A hint if you get stuck
Match a space repeated two or more times, and use the g flag so every run changes.
